[orca-list] Disabled Controls

[Jared Wright <wright jaredm gmail com>]

Hi all, I'm not sure if this is determined  by  Gnome, specifically 
something in Metacity, or Orca, but I definitely do want to modify this 
behavior if possible. As of now, navigating anything by keyboard, be it 
a self-contained dialogue or a menu or whatever, skips over disabled 
items. This is handy in terms of minimizing keypresses, but what if I 
want to know about controls  that are  disabled? So many programs just 
grey out options that aren't applicable at the time, and I'm finding 
that lots of programs have controls I never even knew about until I 
accidentally met the prerequisites for them to be enabled. Especially 
prevalent in menus when flat review yields less supplemental 
information.  Any thoughts welcome.
